The contributors to this proposed dossier are investigators on the AHRC-FAPESP funded Intermidia Project, which explores the uses and possible advantages of intermediality as a historiographic method applicable to cinema in general, and Brazilian cinema in particular. The choice of the artistic movement known as ‘Tropicalia’ or ‘Tropicalism’ as the dossier’s common thread is due, in the first place, to its strong reliance on intermediality. This short-lived movement, stretching for a few years between the late 1960s and the early 1970s, unleashed a veritable artistic and political earthquake whose aftershocks can be felt up to today, as testified by the multiple celebrations of the movement’s 50th anniversary in 2017 taking place all over the world.

巴西电影的中介性：Tropicália 的案例 介绍

这份拟议档案的贡献者是 AHRC-FAPESP 资助的 Intermidia 项目的调查员，该项目探索了中介作为一种适用于一般电影，尤其是巴西电影的历史编纂方法的用途和可能的优势。选择被称为“热带”或“热带主义”的艺术运动作为档案的共同主线，首先是因为它对中介的强烈依赖。这场短暂的运动从 1960 年代末到 1970 年代初持续了几年，引发了一场名副其实的艺术和政治地震，其余震至今仍能感受到，2017 年该运动成立 50 周年的多次庆祝活动证明了这一点。世界各地。
